DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Lowca
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lowca, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
